Abstract
Some thermodynamic and kinetic features of the stability diagram of biopoly mers are discussed. Emphasis is on the relation between pressure- and tempe rature-induced protein unfolding, aggregation and gel formation. The conseq uences for gel formation in biopolymer mixtures of protein and polysacchari des are indicated.
